TOWING & STORAGE LIEN

DID YOUR CUSTOMER ABANDONED THEIR VEHICLE WITH YOU?

Towing and storage of a vehicle or vessel can also give rise to a lien against the property. Just as a mechanic is entitled to be compensated for the work they’ve done, you are entitled to be compensated for the towing and storage of a vehicle. If your shop has repaired, furnished supplies or materials, towed or stored a vehicle and has not been paid for the services rendered, your shop has a lien (mechanic lien) against the vehicle. The lien arises at the time the registered owner is presented with a written statement of charges for completed work or services. Now, differing states have differing time periods to allow for satisfaction of the lien. Here in Florida where The Title Lady is headquartered, that time period is three days.

Do you have a customer who seems to have set sail, leaving you holding not only the anchor, but the entire vessel? If it has been at your shop for more than three days, you are entitled to full payment of the bill, or the title to the vehicle. The Title Lady has been in the business of recovering titles for these unpaid repair orders and repair bills. While each state has differing laws on how to recover the title, The Title Lady knows and understands these differing laws and will get you the title for the vehicle in a timely manner.
